Deep Learning DIY Presentation

Presentation Link

Similarly to the previous year, this workshop was hands-on : After a brief background on deep learning,
participants started quickly, getting an understanding of features (and feature creation)
by a ‘blame assignment’ algorithm (aka Backprop).

For this FOSSASIA workshop, I also created a
stand-alone CNN filter demo, so that people could get an intuitive understanding of what
a single 3x3 CNN filter can do.

Then, using the VirtualBox VM-on-a-stick, we had a quick look at a working GoogLeNet model. And then went
on to a longer segment on how the CNN mechanism can be applied to Speech Recognition -
a new application/module I put together specifically for FOSSASIA (in the preceeding 5 days, from concept
to working & demonstrable code).

Naturally, this being a FOSS event, all the source is available
on GitHub -
if you have questions on the software, please leave an ‘issue’ there.
